D. Little, F. Murray, S. Kodithuwakku
Research carried out in the Northern Kurunegala and Puttalam Districts, in the dry zone of Sri Lanka, where gill-net-based fisheries account for 90% of commercial production is described. This was complemented by an analysis of the national situation, and a livelihood analysis looking at the potential options for involvement of the poor in aquaculture in the Mahawelli H system. Fish marketing networks and fish consumption were also examined. Fish production in perennial and seasonal tanks, key benefits of the current system, researchable issues and evidence of impact on the poor are briefly considered.
